Kristie Amadio

Recovery Coach

Kristie is fully booked and not taking new online clients. She is still available for live-ins, please be advised there may be a wait-list.

One of a kind, irrepressible enthusiasm and candid honesty is what forms the basis of Kristie’s essence. A former elite athlete, she worked as a counselor in both Australia and New Zealand before commencing coaching in America.

She uses the same strength she required in her own recovery to guide and inspire others, while her genuine compassion allows her to connect easily with clients.

Available for online sessions or 24/7 live-ins both domestically and internationally

Caryn Raba

Recovery Coach

Loyal, honest and a quirky sense of humor, Caryn has been an athlete since the age of 4. She worked as a counselor and mentor in Substance abuse treatment for 10 years before coming into eating disorder recovery Coaching.

She knows the importance of meeting a client where they are at, yet encouraging them to challenge themselves, as that is what was so important in her own recovery. She believes that strong, supportive relationships are key to getting better and the only people who don’t recover, are the ones who stop trying.

Available for online sessions or face to face in

Karen Darden

Recovery Coach

Empathetic, compassionate, and loyal, Karen has worked with clients in all phases of recovery to carve out their own unique path to healing.

She draws on her personal and professional experience in treatment centers to inform her care for clients. What sets Karen apart is her ability to use the fire within her, which motivated her own recovery, to ignite a spark in her clients that guides them towards a brighter future.

Her humanness allows her clients to feel secure in being vulnerable with their struggles and set backs in order to receive the support they truly need to fully recover.
